Parent constructor not invoked with Python

[vikkyhacks]

I have the code


class A:
def __init__(self):
print('Class A loaded')

class B(A):
def __init__(self):
print('Class B loaded')


b = B()

and this produces the output,


Class B loaded

I have more of C and Java background and in them the parent constructor is automatically invoked when the parent class is created, but why not in python. Why is the parent constructor not invoked ???

Not in Python: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3782827/why-arent-pythons-superclass-init-methods-automatically-invoked

"constructor" in C, really?

[vikkyhacks]

"constructor" in C c++ actually

[MG&TL]

c++ actually

Then be more careful typing here. Bachstelze gets grumpy when people mix C and C++. ;)
